MATSEQAIJCUSPARSE#

MATAIJCUSPARSE = “(seq)aijcusparse” - A matrix type to be used for sparse matrices on NVIDIA GPUs.

Options Database Keys#

  • -mat_type aijcusparse - Sets the matrix type to “seqaijcusparse” during a call to MatSetFromOptions()

  • -mat_cusparse_storage_format csr - Sets the storage format of matrices (for MatMult() and factors in MatSolve()). Other options include ell (ellpack) or hyb (hybrid).

  • -mat_cusparse_mult_storage_format csr - Sets the storage format of matrices (for MatMult()). Other options include ell (ellpack) or hyb (hybrid).

  • -mat_cusparse_use_cpu_solve - Performs the MatSolve() on the CPU

Notes#

These matrices can be in either CSR, ELL, or HYB format.

All matrix calculations are performed on NVIDIA GPUs using the cuSPARSE library.

Uses 32-bit integers internally. If PETSc is configured --with-64-bit-indices, the integer row and column indices are stored on the GPU with int. It is unclear what happens if some integer values passed in do not fit in int.
